iTunes 11 Release Date Delayed

Apple said in September that they were going to release iTunes 11 in October, well on the last day in October we find out we have to wait until November!
Apple Said
"The new iTunes is taking longer than expected and we wanted to take a little extra time to get it right. We look forward to releasing this new version of iTunes with its dramatically simpler and cleaner interface, and seamless integration with iCloud before the end of November."

iTunes 11 is planned to have a better iCloud integration, which will bring some cool new features to the new version.

Insallous Upgrade on Cydia

I check my Cydia updates today and found an Installous upgrade which i don't usually have. But anyway I'm so exited right now because i beat ModMyi to this post!!

The New Features
-Full support for iOS 6
-Crash fixes

One thing i did notice was that when you finished downloading the upgrade you had to reboot your device. I don't know why you have to because I didn't even reboot my device when I originally downloaded Installous, but hey who cares.

iOS Maker Scott Forstall Fired

Scott Forstall was the iOS chief, which means he made OS and iOS. He was fired for a ridiculous reason, he refused to sign a letter apologizing about iOS 6 maps. In my opinion it was ridiculous to fire him for that, but it was also ridiculous for him not to apologize about maps.

"Mr. Forstall's departure came after mounting tension with members of Apple's executive ranks. For years, senior executives had complained that he wasn't cooperative and showed off his close relationship with Mr. Jobs." - WSJ

In 2013 he will be replaced by Craig Federghi, but until then he will be replaced by Jonathan Ives. So plan to see some changes in both iOS and OS. I can't wait to see what they do with iOS 6 personaly considering it has so many bad changes that need to be fixed, also i think jailbreaker are holding in their exploits until iOS 6.0.1 so im wondering what theyre going to do know.

Comment below on what you think might happen.

iOS 6 Jailbreak Could be on Hold Until iOS 6.0.1 Update

Many rumors have shown that apple might be working on an update for iOS 6 to fix bugs. So it makes sense for the jailbreaking community to hold of on the iOS 6 jailbreak, so that they don't put there hard work to waste. Jailbreakers could already have iOS 6 jailbroken they just don't want their exploits wasted. Like the jailbreaker known as Chpwn, showed a picture of Cydia on iOS 6 ( literally right next to passbooks) not even 24 hours after the iPhone 5 was released. So keep your hopes up. And for now downgrade to an older iOS here's a tutorial.

Hide Stock Apps Without Jailbreaking

Tired of your stock applications on your iDevice? Don't use "Newsstand" so you want to get rid of it? Well now you can get rid of them without jailbreaking. for iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 users this is great.

Heres how.

  1. Visit rag3hack.no-ip.org on your iDevice.
  2. Tap Hide Apps without Jailbreak.
  3. Choose the app you want to hide and tap it.
  4. You'll be asked to install a new app/certificate. Confirm that you want to do this.
  5. The installation will fail, but that's supposed to happen. Tap "Done" when you receive the failure message.
  6. Long press an icon on your home screen to enter "jiggle mode" and go find the app you wanted to hide. You'll now see that the app is blank and has the word "Hide" before its name (e.g. "Hide Stocks"). Tap the "X" in the upper-left corner to remove it.

Status on iOS 6 Jailbreak

From what we know iPhone Dev Team is working around the clock to make a iOS 6 jailbreak. But so far there is only a tethered jailbreak for the following.
-iPhone 3GS
-iPhone 4
-iPod 4G

Sadly iPhone 4S users and iPhone 5 users are out of luck if they are running iOS 6, because there is no boot rom exploit for A5 and A6 devices.

Unlock Your iDevice With Style Using "pinch to unlock''

This is one of those straight forward tweaks it does everything the tweaks name says, no app added to home screen, and no page in the settings app and no settings to configure. So basically all you do is pinch the lock screen.

Name: pinch to unlock
Price: FREE
Rating: 3/10
Its a cool tweak and all, but the thing is activator can do the same and much more so I'm not very impressed with this tweak.

Send emails in Notification Center with "NC mail"

Nc mail allows you to send quick mail from the Notification Center. By entering the email address then pressing Enter it will open your stock mail app then you can type the body of the message and press send. It is an incredibly simple tweak with no options to configure. Open the settings app and go to Notifications and turn the tweak on.


Name: NC mail
Price: FREE
Rating: 8/10
The only thing i would say is that i wish it would remember you used emails or contacts, but the interface is great and the widget looks well in the notification center.

Search Google Easier with"Easy Way"

 With EasyWay you can search Google faster and easier.When you download it no icons will be added to the home screen. There will also not be a page in the Settings app, so you will need to go to Activator and set the activation method. Also you can open Facebook , Twitter and the Apple website. The last option in the interface is you have a brightness slider, which is kinda random but hey its another add on.

Name: EasyWay
Price: FREE
Rating: 6/10
The interface could be better but its incredibly handy.

Step3: Click the Jailbreak button within redsn0w. The application will load a few things, then make sure that Install Cydia is checked. After you’re done with that, click Next.

Step4: When the process has completed and you’re back on your Lock screen or Home screen, place the iDevice back into DFU mode.

Step5: Go back to the main screen of redsn0w and navigate to Extras > Just boot. Click on Just boot and your device will begin its tethered boot. Once you’re all booted up you should see Cydia sitting on your Home screen.

Ostium Jailbreak Tweak

With Ostium you can put simple but fun animations when you open your Notification Center. You can also split you home screen in two parts using both fingers.

Name: ostium
Price: $.99
Rating: 4/10

I like the animations in this tweak but for .99 cents I would think they would have more than 2 animations. I hope that they add more animations and other options.

How to Downgrade iOS 6 to iOS 5.1.1 on all A4 iOS Devices




http://itechbook.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/downgrade-ios-6.png

First off is you MUST have 5.1.1 SHSH blobs saved if not this will not work.Although if you have jailbroken the same device you are doing this with in iOS 5.1.1 you can use those SHSH blobs.


Step1: It is always a good idea to backup your device before downgrading or jailbreaking. You can either backup using iCloud or iTunes although I recommend iTunes.

Step2: This step is just the downloads you will need.
redsn0w 0.9.14b2 for Windows/Mac
iOS 5.1.1 Firmware

Step3: Plug your device into your computer using your Apple USB charger.Then enter it into DFU mode.

Step4: Open redsn0w go to Extras>SHSH Blobs.

Step5: Next you select Stitch>IPSW then select the 5.1.1 firmware you downloaded earlier.

Step6: Next you find your blobs if they are saved on your computer then click local and find them. But if they are saved on Cydia then chose Cydia. that means if you have jailbroken the same device that you are downgrading then you can find them on Cydia.

Step7:  Now you device in Pwned DFU so in order to do that go to redsn0ws main page then make your way to Extras>Pwned DFU.

Step8: Now you need to edit your Hosts file.
Windows users navigate to My Computer>Windows>System 32>drivers>etc>Hosts

Mac users just open up ect
then open up the file in a text viewer now go to the bottom line and enter in
74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com 
now save it to its original file

Step8: Now your device should still be connected so open iTunes and select the device from the left side.
Windows users need to hold Shift then click restore and Mac uses should press left Alt+ restore then you should be able to select a file to restore to, but you obviously should choose the custom IPSW that reds0w made for you. If iTunes gives you an error its ok the firmware should be sucsefully loaded on your device so just open redsn0w up again and go to Extras>Recovery Fix.If you have no error then good for you and your done.Once done you can jailbreak using Reds0w or Absinthe 2.0. I recommend Redsn0w tho it has been my favorite since i started.Once done remove what you added to the hosts file.
